Googys: How Transdirect helped this protein business pack a bigger punch

If there’s one thing customers love from an online store, it’s free shipping. Our friends over at Googys know this well.

Refer & earn: How to get extra discounts as a referrer with Transdirect

We all love a good discount.
It’s science – literally.
In 2012, professor of neuroeconomics, Dr Paul J. Zak, set out to learn how discounts impact people’s happiness, health and stress levels. As it turns out, test subjects who received a $10 voucher experienced a 38% rise in oxytocin and were 11% happier than test subjects who didn’t.
Heart rates dropped 5% and sweat levels were 20 times lower than the discount-less test subjects. Discounts literally make people happier.
